Which music gives you musical chills?

Parent Cafe
41

<p>Anything on an English horn.</p>

42

<p>Sometimes, it’s not the musical piece so much as it’s the sound in a setting.</p>

<p>A thundering organ in a German Gothic cathedral.</p>

<p>And the last time, I cried to music, was stepping out onto the Piazza San Marco in Venice, at night, and the violins started playing in the sidewalk cafes. Just thrilling.</p>

43

<p>Just a couple of the top of my head</p>

<p>Ode to My Family Cranberries
Last Request Paolo Nutini</p>

44

<p>Here are a couple:
Palestrina - Sicut Cervus
Ralph Stanley - Oh, Death
Jerusalem (the English hymn)–(It was sung at the royal wedding, and is at the end of the movie “Chariots of Fire”–the title of that film is taken from the song. Also, I like the version in “The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.”)
Lara’s Theme from Dr. Zhivago (my dad loved this song–he always used to whistle it, so I associate it with him)
Love Me Tender (H sings it to me–if he’s not singing, I’ll take Elvis!)</p>

45

<p>Curmudgeon-- Ode to My Family. Absolutely.</p>

46

<p>The Harry Hood from Phish 12-30-95. Trey Anastasio is absolutely sublime.
The same with some Stella Blue’s I’ve heard on Grateful Dead shows. A friend of mine who is a musician himself always says that every note Jerry Garcia played was played with great taste.</p>

47

<p>“Behind the Wall” Tracy Chapman
“The Foggy Dew” Sinead O’Connor, with the Chieftans.
And many of the ones you have already suggested. Thank you for this thread. I am youtubing like crazy, and loving it!</p>

48

<p>

Same here for that song, but I prefer the Wolfe Tones singing it.</p>

49

<p>This is quite an eclectic list! I’m having a wonderful time discovering new music and revisiting some old favorites–keep 'em coming.</p>

50

<p>By the way, this is turning me into a strange musical version of Pavlov’s dog. As I start to play something new on YouTube, I get a little anticipatory frisson.</p>

51

<p>

</p>

<p>agree that this is excellent.</p>

52

<p>

</p>

<p>O.M.G. </p>

<p>How did I miss this?</p>

<p>Another guitar solo that always gets me is Duane Allman’s interwoven with Clapton’s on Layla…the original.</p>

53

<p>vballmom, definitely the riff on Layla</p>

<p>Simple Man-Skynyrd. More so when watching their VH1 special
Zombie-Cranberries Blast the stereo
When I’m Gone-3 Doors Down (good video on aircraft carrier and a good riff towards the end of the song)
There Must Be An Angel-Eurythmics when Stevie Wonder’s harmonica kicks in
We Are The World
Someone Saved My Life Tonight & Funeral For A Friend-Elton John
Yesterday & Imagine-The Beatles</p>

<p>There’ll be more</p>

54

<p>Pachelbel Canon in D major</p>

<p>“Nobody’s Girl” – Bonnie Raitt</p>

<p>“The Load-Out” – Jackson Browne</p>

<p>“The Love of God” – traditional hymn</p>

<p>“Fields of Gold,” “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” – Eva Cassidy</p>

<p>“The End of the Innocence” – Don Henley</p>

<p>“Ohio” – Neil Young</p>

<p>“Lodestar” – Cris Williamson</p>

<p>“Old Blue Chair” – Kenny Chesney</p>

55

<p>A few more:</p>

<p>Most chills ever: Allegri - Miserere Mei, Deus </p>

<p>Mothers’ Day weeper: Stephen Foster - Slumber My Darling- Alison Krauss(–there is a youtube video of this set to mother/child art–)</p>

<p>from the Irish: Thomas Moore- Vale of Avoca/Meeting of the Waters
She Moved Through the Fair (many versions of both of these)</p>

56

<p>AND I am still a sucker for Jay Ungar and Co.'s Ashokan Farwell.
AND Van Morrison the the Chieftans : Carrickfergus
as well as their efforts on : Raglan Road </p>

<p>(Especially after having consumed a few pints of Guinness)</p>

57

<p>Another Eva Cassidy - “Who Knows Where the TIme Goes”. And also Sandy Denny’s original version.</p>

58

<p>Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole did my favorite version of Over the Rainbow.</p>

<p>Pearl Jam also does a beautiful job on Hawaii '78

<p>Hildegard von Bingen: O vis Aeternitatis</p>

<p>Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium</p>

<p>Thunder Road (live - I’ve only hear the Boss perform it live once)</p>

<p>And Amazing Grace on bagpipes…yes, it is overdone but I still love it</p>
